# Implementation Plan: Pacifica Modular Delta Neutral Strategy

## Project Overview
- **Objective**: Build a modular, multi-account delta neutral trading system for Pacifica perpetual contracts, prioritizing clean layering, risk control, and extensibility.
- **Architecture Flow**: Configuration → Account Setup → Market Data (WebSocketManager + MarketDataManager) → Data Aggregation → Strategy (SimpleStrategyEngine + HedgingDecisionModule) → Signal Execution → Monitoring/Phase Control.
- **Current Branch**: `001-ts-pacifica-perp`.

## Current Approach
- **Configuration-Driven**: `ConfigurationManager` loads JSON configs (`accounts.json`, `trading-strategy.json`, `delta-strategy-config.json`) and validates mandatory fields such as trading symbol and trading interval.
- **Account Initialization**: `AccountManager` instantiates `PacificaSigningClient` per account, shares WebSocket connections, and pushes normalized balances/positions/orders into `DataAggregator`.
- **Market Data & Aggregation**: `WebSocketManager` maintains the exchange connection while `MarketDataManager` subscribes to prices, order book, and account channels; `DataAggregator` exposes a canonical snapshot to downstream modules.
- **Strategy Orchestration**: `TradingCycleManager` drives cyclical execution; `SimpleStrategyEngine` generates trade or rebalance signals and delegates conflict checks to `HedgingDecisionModule` before batching them for execution.
- **Execution & Lifecycle**: `SignalExecutor` submits orders via signing clients with retry/limit guards, and `OrderLifecycleManager` handles stale order cancellation.
- **Monitoring & Phase Control**: `MonitoringManager` (with `MarginUtilizationMonitor`, `ExposureRiskMonitor`, dynamic TP/SL updater) enforces risk limits and informs `TradingPhaseManager` to adjust trading behaviour.

### Runtime Flow Summary
1. **Initialization**
   - CLI entry (`scripts/run-modular-strategy.ts`) loads configs, initializes accounts, links shared WebSocket, and starts market data streams.
   - `ComponentInitializer` wires all Sprint 1 / Sprint 2 services and returns handles needed by `TradingCycleManager` and `MonitoringManager`.
2. **Trading Cycle**
   - `TradingCycleManager` triggers on the configured interval.
   - `SimpleStrategyEngine` pulls aggregated state, applies pricing/size/timing optimizers, and optionally produces a delta rebalance signal.
   - `HedgingDecisionModule` inspects conflicts, auto-hedging rules, and returns the final batch of `TradingSignal`s.
   - `SignalExecutor` executes the batch, enforces max order value, and notifies listeners (e.g., account refresh) on failures.
3. **Monitoring Loop**
   - `MonitoringManager` periodically runs margin/exposure checks and dynamic TP/SL updates.
   - When thresholds are breached it emits `reduce`/`balance` signals directly through `SignalExecutor` and can request `TradingCycleManager` to enter `emergency` mode.
4. **Data Feedback**
   - `AccountManager` reacts to executions by refreshing REST snapshots if needed and keeps `DataAggregator` in sync.
   - `OrderLifecycleManager` cancels stale orders and feeds status updates back into the aggregator/logs.
5. **Shutdown**
   - Global signal/exception handlers call `strategy.stop()`, halting cycle timers, monitoring intervals, and order tracking before closing the WebSocket.

### Shutdown Behaviour
- Process signals (`SIGINT`, `SIGTERM`) and fatal errors converge on `performShutdown`, preventing double shutdowns.
- `strategy.stop()` stops the trading cycle, monitoring loop, cancels open orders via `AccountManager`, and tears down market data streams.
- In CLI mode the process exits only after shutdown completes; when imported as a module the caller receives the resolved/rejected promise without a forced exit.

## Completed Work
### Configuration & Accounts
- Added strict symbol validation and hot reload support (`src/modules/ConfigurationManager.ts:93` etc.).
- Normalized balance/position/order payloads in `AccountManager` to keep `DataAggregator` strongly typed (`src/modules/AccountManager.ts:12`, `:138`, `:225`).

### Pacifica Client Layer
- `PacificaSigningClient` now exposes stop-order, batch, funding-history, equity-history, and margin-mode APIs without leaking its internal axios instance (`src/services/PacificaSigningClient.ts:675`, `:988`, `:1075`).

### Market Data & Execution Resilience
- `WebSocketManager` tolerates sparse order updates, optional price fields, and manages automatic reconnection (`src/services/WebSocketManager.ts:268`).
- `SignalExecutor` batch execution handles undefined array slots and clamps order value using live equity via `getAccountInfo()` (`src/services/SignalExecutor.ts:309`, `:524`).
- Spread checks and pricing guards prevent invalid orderbook reads (`src/services/TimingOptimizer.ts:225`).

### Strategy Orchestration
- `SimpleStrategyEngine` records component configs for diagnostics, safely handles missing accounts, and directs delta rebalancing to primary/secondary accounts (`src/strategies/SimpleStrategyEngine.ts:64`, `:281`).
- Coordination between `TradingCycleManager` and `MonitoringManager` is now standardised: phase changes and risk signals are routed through `SignalExecutor` for consistent handling.

### Infrastructure
- Optional database configuration is omitted when absent (`src/utils/Config.ts:104`).
- `npm run build` passes with strict TypeScript settings.

## Testing & Fixes Log

### 2025-10-05: System Integration Testing & Bug Fixes

**Issues Discovered:**
1. **Balance NaN Issue** - Account balances parsed as `NaN` instead of numeric values
2. **Orderbook Timeout** - `Error: Orderbook data timeout for symbols: BTC, ETH`
3. **Excessive Debug Logging** - Logs truncated due to verbose WebSocket message dumps

**Root Causes Identified:**
1. **Balance NaN**:
   - Lack of diagnostic logging prevented visibility into API response structure
   - `extractNumericField` method working correctly but needed debugging info

2. **Orderbook Timeout**:
   - `MarketDataManager.handleOrderBookUpdate` incorrectly parsed Pacifica orderbook format
   - Issue: Used `data.l?.[0]` instead of proper array access `data.l[0]`
   - Pacifica format: `data.l = [[bids_array], [asks_array]]`
   - Optional chaining prevented proper array element access

3. **Debug Logging**:
   - `PacificaSigningClient` logged full WebSocket messages at `info` level (line 114)
   - "No matching pending request" warnings logged at `info` instead of `debug` (line 144)
   - Console.log debug output in production code (line 391-393)

**Fixes Applied:**
1. **Balance Debugging** (`src/modules/AccountManager.ts:143-154`):
   - Added detailed logging of raw API responses
   - Added logging of normalized account data structure
   - Enabled tracking of data transformation pipeline

2. **Orderbook Parsing** (`src/services/MarketDataManager.ts:253-295`):
   - Fixed array access pattern for Pacifica format
   - Added proper validation for `data.l` array structure
   - Enhanced logging with bid/ask levels and best prices
   - Changed warning level from `warn` to `debug` for empty orderbooks

3. **Logging Cleanup** (`src/services/PacificaSigningClient.ts`):
   - Reduced WebSocket message logging from `info` to `debug` (line 114)
   - Changed "no matching request" from `info` to `debug` (line 141)
   - Removed console.log debug statements (line 387-393)
   - Kept only essential signature metadata in debug logs

**Test Results:**

- Delta neutral hedging operational

## Remaining Work
1. **Configuration & Documentation** ⚠️ IN PROGRESS
   - ✅ Base configurations working: `accounts.json`, `trading-strategy.json`, `delta-strategy-config.json`
   - ⏳ Document validation steps and configuration best practices
   - ⏳ Update `specs/001-ts-pacifica-perp/plan.md` and `tasks.md` to reflect testing results and fixes

2. **End-to-End Validation (M2 Prep)** ⏳ NEXT
   - ✅ Short-term testing completed successfully (2+ cycles, orders placed)
   - ⏳ Extended session testing (30+ minutes) to validate sustained delta neutrality
   - ⏳ Monitor accumulated positions and hedging effectiveness
   - ⏳ Emit runtime metrics (e.g., Monitoring stats, SignalExecutor batch summaries) for observability during extended runs

3. **Risk & Monitoring Enhancements**
   - Align `MonitoringManager`, `MarginUtilizationMonitor`, and `ExposureRiskMonitor` with the new data schema and balance-handling logic.
   - Define alerting/logging procedures and consolidate them into `PRODUCTION_READINESS` documentation.

4. **Testing Matrix**
   - Add unit tests for `AccountManager`, `ConfigurationManager`, `SignalExecutor`, and `HedgingDecisionModule`.
   - Implement integration tests simulating dual-account coordination, order lifecycle, and delta rebalance scenarios.
   - Revisit unfinished tasks in `specs/001-ts-pacifica-perp/tasks.md` and prioritize critical testing gaps.

5. **Deployment Preparation**
   - Document environment variables, secrets management, and logging/metrics endpoints in `PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT_CHECKLIST.md` and related guides.
   - Ensure rollback/restart procedures accommodate WebSocket reconnection behavior (process exit after max retries).

## Risks & Considerations
- **Configuration Completeness**: Missing or blank symbols halt initialization; include pre-flight config checks in runbooks.
- **Archived Legacy Code**: Validate that no scripts still depend on `_archived/` modules; remove or refactor references.
- **Sprint 2 Stability**: Advanced optimizers and delta control require staged rollout and backtesting before production use.
- **WebSocket Exit Strategy**: Review the intentional `process.exit` on repeated failures to confirm it aligns with ops expectations.
